Profile

Mr Guilherme A. BortolottoPostgraduate Student

My PhD project is focused on understanding the impacts of human activities on the distribution of humpback whales in the coast of Brazil, for which I'm using line-transect and satellite telemetry data. During my master, I have used distance sampling to estimate the abundance of the same population. I also have a degree in veterinary medicine, and some experience on aquatic fauna strandings and wild animal rehabilitation.

I am funded by CNPq, Brazilian federal government (Science Without Borders programme).
